Some eagles...

Memorial Eagle Awards is not a voting category, here are the 2004 Memorial Eagle Award recipients. If you have personal knowledge about of any one of these Freepers who have recently passed from us, please FReepmail Jim ands ask him to put them on the Memorial Wall.
MEMORIAL EAGLES - This honor is conferred upon individuals who have passed from us during the awards year, but whose dedication, commitment and contributions to the conservative cause will always be cherished and their memory honored. No voting necessary for Memerial Eagles, they are automatic after passing Committee scrutiny.
Ahadams2
There are Freepers who lurk, make random comments and tend to just watch. Then there are those who see the enormous potential of this forum to bring people together, provide information and generate activism. Arlin Adams fell into the later category. His tireless efforts to keep his own special interest group of traditional Anglicans informed provided even greater value to Free Republic.
Ahadams2 was a member of the Episcopal Church. His Anglican ping list focused mainly upon issues of concern within this church. They were also reflective of the larger issues confronting our culture. When a society loses its center, it tends to float aimlessly, believing in anything at all and seldom in anything good. It is the duty of conservatives in every area of thought to work to bring things back into balance. That is just what Arlin worked to achieve.
With his usual sense of humor, this quite from his last post, delivered only hours before he died, demonstrates his cheerfulness and his commitment at the same time: “I dunno what’s more fun, watching leftists be hysterical or watching them sit around with their gears jammed…”
His mission has been ably picked up by Sionsar and it is a tribute to Arlin’s impact that the Anglican Ping continues to be extremely active. The good that we do, truly lives on after us.
The Memorial Eagle award would be a fitting tribute to one who became a friend to, and is sorely missed by many of us.
Harpseal
Harpseal was well known on Free Republic, having consistently participated on the forum for over five years. He was at the forefront of every ‘free trade’ discussion. His other interests centered around conservative values, with specific focus on 2nd amendment, immigration and military matters. He eloquently expressed his views on the forum and will be sorely missed.
LBGA
LBGA was a tireless worker on the streets during the Clinton impeachment. She was a nice person to work with. We will miss her greatly, both on the street and her contributions to the forum.
Militiaman7
Though he lived in Roanoke, Virginia, Militiaman7 didn’t hesitate to drive many hours within Virginia and to travel to Washington, D. C. to support our goals at many Free Republic sponsored events. He also worked tirelessly to keep politicians honest and Freeped Mark Warner bigtime during the last election for governor in Virginia.
We will miss him very much.
RjayneJ
Some people come to Free Republic to make a mark of their own. RjayneJ came to Free Republic to acknowledge the special nature of others. By enlisting the help of new friends on the forum, she spread that remarkable desire to more people. In so doing, she was unable to avoid making a very sweet mark of her own on the forum.
Many Freepers have been uplifted to find their thoughts recognized by someone, as meriting special recognition. Those that did never forgot that RjayneJ was the person who cared enough to set up a site and herald those thoughts.
RjayneJ, we will miss your thoughtful nature.
Ronald Wilson Reagan
40th President of the Republic of the United States of America
During 2004, President Reagan lost his long battle with Alzheimer’s. The Free Republic Network thought it fitting that he be recognized along side so many other people who shared his passion for conservatism.
When we take a moment to remember Freepers who have gone before us, we will be reminded that one of the greatest Presidents of the United States, shared many values, which make Freepers what they are.
Sultan88
Sultan88 was a gentleman, a kind kindred spirit. A man, who encouraged me as an international Freeper without telling me of his illness. Mudboyslim would tell you of his involvement in Virginian meet ups. He is sadly, sadly missed, and MUST be considered. I miss Greg’s great kindnesses. His death gutted me...a girl living across an ocean. His influence was quiet, but profound.
My thoughts and prayers go out to their families
NOTE - All these individuals currently are remembered on the FR Memorial Wall.
Amen Bob J.
We will not forget them, they live on in our Hearts, our mind and souls..
With the exception of RR.
Rest in Peace, fellow freepers. Rest in Peace.
Memorial Ping for fellow FReepers
May they rest in peace.

In Remembrance of all FReepers gone to their reward.

-Sincerely, G.J.P.(Jr.)
Heaven is a better place with so many fine FReepers.
(You know they're up there having a spirited discussion about something, don't you? :o)
Thank you for this ping Tonk. Thank you for letting me know of these special people. God Bless them all.
Hey guys...read the first post.
This is for Greg!
We miss him.
Thank you for posting this Memorial list.
I miss each and every one of our dear FReepers who have gone on before us .
Well done, good and faithful servants.
Maybe they have created a Forum and are keeping God on the straight and narrow...heheh.
Thanks for the ping, Tonk. May their families find peace in their joyous reunion with the Father. I am honored to walk the same halls as they.
Thank you both.
Rest in His peace, Freepers...
Thanks, Tonk! God rest their souls. May their families be comforted that they were so highly thought of!
My sister, Sally Kennedy, aka HeartofGold, went to be with the Lord this past year, in May.
She came to depend on the site alot during the 2000 election debacle, and lurked almost every day.
She wasn't a real active FReeper, but she was a FReeper.
Love ya and miss ya, Sal!
bump for the memories
Amen!
The world is a poorer place, but heaven is richer...
Amen.
We honor their memory.
Our God of Mercy Rest their souls, and Continue to Comfort their Loved ones who still Miss them, is my Prayer.
Some have gone but will remain in our hearts forever.
It surely is. May they rest in peace.
Thanks for the eagles ping.
I'd like to take a moment, also, to remember TrappedinLiberalHell.

Thanks for posting this.
Prayers for FReepers who have risen up on wings of eagles.
I'm sad to hear that Tom, losing a loved one is never easy even when we know they continue the good fight elsewhere and look down to us everyday.
Thanks for that, I hadn't seen it before.
These are all great losses for our FreeRepublic Family. Their spirits live on in all of us. Prayers and thoughts going out to their families.
You're welcome. Glad you liked it.
Where's the FR Memorial Wall?
Still missing Harpseal. I just got to know him, and then he was gone.
Front page, bottom.
BTW - Play the music as you scroll.
Thanks.
Thanks for the ping, TGYC. They are gone, but what they contributed lives on.
All of these are precious to us! May God bless and protect their loved ones.
God bless to one and all.
We are better for having them amongst us. We are the lesser for their passing.
God bless 'em, one and all.
Appreciate the ping, Tonk. May we all strive to uphold their values and legacy.
Rest in Peace.
Bump to your Post HG.
I miss Sultan too. I got the chance to get to talk to him on the phone, several times. He was a great guy.
BTTT!!!!!!!
Bump to a great group of citizens who are still part of the fabric that is Free Republic.
